Reviews for The French Bakery in Bellevue, WA

Service is meh and the food comes out slow. The pastries are good but the coffee is some of the worst I?ve had. Would not... recommend and will not return. It?s a shame too because they are in my building and really convenient. Read more

Pastries are below average for French style, but the baguettes are fascinatingly bad. I?ve experienced baguettes of similarly... low quality, but not in many years. The crust is extremely brittle and fragments into innumerable pieces as soon as a knife getswithin an inch of it. These shards of bread matter taste like corn flakes. The crumb is light, spongy and airy, which is finefor a cake, but pretty terrible for a baguette. It should have pockets, but be chewy and flavorful. This baguette is neither. Itried to find creative ways to use or resuscitate it, but to no avail. Toasting it just made it harder and it doesn?t have thedensity to hold up for making French toast or bread pudding. Like I said, fascinatingly bad. On the plus side the staff is wasvery friendly and pleasant. Feel a little bad leaving this kind of review, but people must be warned, about the baguettesanyway. By the way if you are looking for solid baguettes get over to *gasp* Costco. Yes my friends. It may be a hike to getover to Kirkland and it may belie your better judgement to go to a warehouse chain for French delights, but Costco is puttingout some of the best baguettes in the area. I kid you not. They make you get two at a time. This is actually good. You willthank them. Read more

Great atmosphere. Delicious sandwiches are here. I asked for decaffeinated coffee and it turned out delicious too. Definitely... will be back! Read more

Excellent service, very friendly and professional staff. French bakery at its best. Fresh and tasty French pastry. I wish the... name was "La Boulangerie Française", it would have been a complete French experience. :) Jokes aside, my family and I reallyenjoyed Sunday morning breakfast. Almond croissants are awesome and I strongly recommend it. Read more

MYYY photos are realistic! Already biten into! Already being ENJOYED!! WOWZERS is this stuff good. I'll savor the extra 4 lbs... in 5 days because I'm coming back every day. Would be better if they stuffed more turkey in their croissant, but I'm from theeast coast. We like a fat sammy. Good on ya kidz, service is excellent and the product is as well. Read more

Great treats, good coffee, short lines, local, but best of all, the croissants!! Oh oh so good!! They are flakey, buttery, soft... and beyond delicious. They always seem to have enough, you can get enough for you or for your team. They are great for breakfastor lunch or anytime. Highly recommend stopping in and trying this place. Read more

Nice little bakery on the first floor inside the building . We visited for breakfast and was we came out happy and satisfied. We... opted for hot croissants sandwich and hot panini grill roasted turkey and havarti. Both tasted good. We also got an pineappleturnover and cappuccino and cappuccino Viennese and both were nice . Our service was nice and polite. The person ( boy) on thecounter was sooo nice and polite and smiling and helpful. There are few sports inside the cafe to sit and eat and also outsidethe cafe .
